deal) Avro at Langar, Nottinghamshire it was reported, are still negotiating to have a payments-by-results scheme introduced. Staff inspectors at the Hawker factory at Baginton have been offered £3 10s, by the management if they will revert back to the shopfloor. Hawker - Siddeley at Kingston have submitted a claim for a sickpay scheme to their management. They ask for a scheme similar to that given to British Aircraft Corporation employees who receive, skilled men, £6 per week initially; increasing to £8 after Io years’ service for a contribution of 2/- per
by Dave Winsor
week with the Corporation meeting
the additional cost.
Negotiations are -in progress at
Lostock, Lancashire, for the flat-
rate wage of £16 9s. Iod. to be
increased by an immediate Io per
cent. Our reporter informs that the
absence of piecework removed the
yardstick by which increases could
be claimed and recommend that
where non-piecework wage levels
were negotiated provision was made
for an annual review.
Discontent is reported from the
Chadderton, Lancashire, factory of
Avro-Whitworth. Apparently new
managerial staff from another Haw-
ker factory are not doing their job
as efficiently as the shop stewards
thought possible and production
organisation had been criticised by
them. This had, it was stated,
brought about some improvement
but there was still some way to go.
